We are currently focused on marketing the rental homes to prospective tenants and will email you when a new lease has been signed. Arrived's strategy for seeking tenants is focused on signing 2 year leases, achieving market rent, and thoroughly vetting applicants. Though it may take a bit more time to lease out the homes, we believe these standards provide our investors the best way to maximize returns over the long term.
Preparing the home for the rental market can be a multi-tiered process. Our investment team works closely with one of our experienced property manager partners to prepare the home for the rental market.
